Hi.

Hello my lovely reader. I’m so glad you’ve taken time out of your busy day to read my blog. Most days my blog may just give you a break from doing something productive or boring, like work. Someday I hope that my blog will make you laugh. One day I hope that it will inspire you, brighten your day, or make you think. Whatever reason you have for reading my blog, I’m happy you’re here!

A little about me

My name is Chantel and I grew up a military brat. I feel the need to always start my introductions with that because usually people start with, “I’m from_____.” Well, I don’t really know where I’m from, maybe Nebraska, maybe Georgia or Oklahoma, but most likely I’m from Iowa because that’s where I lived the longest. Fate brought me to Idaho for school and the second day of living in Idaho I met my wonderful husband, Jesse. We went on adventures and he made me promise that I wouldn’t make him fall in love with me, to which I replied, “I can’t make any promises.” Needless to say, we fell in love and were married in the LDS Rexburg Temple on April 7, 2012. A year and a half later we found out I was pregnant with our first child. Our beautiful and sweet Eveline Marie was born on July 9th, 2014, a day that sits right up there in greatness with our wedding day. The same month that we had our darling daughter Jesse graduated, accepted a wonderful job, and we packed up and moved to the beautiful state of Utah. Jesse works hard at his dream job of being a Creative Director and spends his free time loving on his two pretty girls. I love being at home with my sweet daughter, trying new restaurants, Christmas time, anything with sugar, sewing, Target, and consuming too many Slurpees. Jesse loves snowboarding, wake boarding, buying things off of Amazon daily, teaching, and being the life of any party or function. Together we watch entire Netflix shows in record breaking time, go camping, talk in “baby talk” too often, and dream about all the adventures we have ahead of us.
